Some of the notable changes in this release are:

  - the new Ninja generator is now enabled by default on Windows
  - added POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property, automatically
adds -fPIC for compilers that require it
  - added MUMPS coverage support to ctest, including GTM and Cache
  - and, as always, various minor bug fixes

The bug tracker change log page for this version is at:

Following is the complete list of changes in this rc since the last
release. Please try this version of CMake on your projects and report
any issues to the list or the bug tracker.


Thanks!
